3Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."
4Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has will he give for his life.
5But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face."
6Yahweh said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life."
7So Satan went forth from the presence of Yahweh, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.
8He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes.
9Then his wife said to him, "Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die."
